Restaurants in all corners of Powys have been recognised in the world's most prestigious food guide.

Once again, the county has been left without a Michelin star, although the ultra-plush Ynyshir Restaurant near Machynlleth has retained its accolade.

Dinner at the Asian-influenced restaurant on the edge of the Dyfi Nature Reserve costs £300 per person, but according to the guide, it's money well spent.

"Chef Gareth Ward is truly passionate about meat, handling it with knowledge and reverence; he buys whole Wagyu beef and matures it himself – sometimes for over 200 days," it says.

"His multi-course set menus are served as a series of vibrant mouthfuls which really pack a punch and, while ingredients are mainly Welsh, dishes feature an array of Asian flavours. "

Restaurants based within Powys include Seeds in Llanfyllin, and Chapters in Hay-on-Wye, have been listed within the guide, which awards up to three stars for excellence to a select few establishments.

On Chapters, the guide says: “A stone-built former meeting room to the adjoining chapel, Chapters exudes an intimate rustic-cum-vintage style with its parquet flooring, wood panelling and leaded windows. The set menu changes every six weeks and local sourcing is key. Hyper-seasonal, attractively presented dishes deliver original flavours.”

A spokesperson for Chapters said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be included in the Michelin Guide for 2022 and by representing Hay-on-Wye as the only entry hope that this will also encourage more visitors to the area, the guide references the hyper seasonal set menu and how Chapters supports local producers - something which we believe key to the business.”

The guide describes Seeds as “a converted 16C red-brick cottages in a sleepy village, run with pride by a friendly husband and wife team." It adds: "Cosy, pine-furnished room with an old range and a country kitchen feel. Unfussy, classical dishes and comforting homemade desserts.”
